Pitch for TN
Amidst the kaleidoscope of Tamil Nadu’s political landscape, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) finds itself entangled in a complex web of identity, ideology, and electoral aspirations.
While Tamil Nadu’s daily tally of Covid-19 cases continue to hover around 6,000 with no end in sight in the near future, the state police is filling up state exchequer with crores of rupees ~ a stark irony of the pandemic situation!
The Tamil Police has collected Rs 21.26 crore as fine for violating lockdown regulations in the state as of Sunday. According to police 6.88 lakh vehicles have been seized so far since March 2020 after its owners were found violating the rules.
The rampant violation of Covid-19 guidelines by public is evident from these statistics, giving authorities sleepless nights. Like the main
contributor of new cases daily, Chennai also contributes to the violations and fine collected by law enforcing agency.
